Shotlist

Discussion of the problem of teenage drinking and driving, made in cooperation with the Yale Center of Alcohol Studies. 3 college men, one doing no drinking, one drinking beer and one drinking heavily are studied. Results are compared to effects of equivalent amounts in rats. Depicts an accidents resulting from only casual drinking before driving. Shows rat experiments, teenagers drinking in bar and dancing, and alludes to death of one couple because of driving while intoxicated.

Ken Smith sez: This slow-moving film chronicles a weekend evening of three teenage boys -- a heavy drinker, a moderate drinker, and a non-drinker. Interspersed are scenes of a "physiologist," (see The Bright Young Newcomer) who demonstrates the effects of alcohol on white rats. Despite this great premise and an obligatory car crash at the end, this film is stilted and only moderately sensationalistic. There are a lot better films in this genre.
